“Interoperability gives us the freedom to choose the best router fit for each particular application,” said Axel Clauberg, Vice President, Aggregation, Transport, IP (TI-ATI) & Infrastructure Cloud Architecture at Deutsche Telekom AG. “We believe that Acacia’s CFP2-DCO coherent module will help to enable the transformation of the Telco industry toward a modern, IP and Cloud-based production, and significantly reduce production costs through the use of Open Source and Open Hardware. We can now use this technology to interconnect with external networks like peering partners at 100G.”

With support for 100 Gbps using QPSK modulation and 200 Gbps using either 8QAM or 16QAM, Acacia’s CFP2-DCO Coherent Module is shipping in production volumes today.
